Swan Night Dive Video - June 2010
Submitted by Pete D on Mon, 2010-07-05 19:36
Home sick today, so I had a chance to upload the night dive that I did a few weeks ago with Gully, Till, Tim and a few others.
6 hours to upload!!!!....time for bed.
Gully features as the first diver 'attacking' the prawns in the first part. It was funny as, what with him loosing the prawn and the 'piss-off' wave of his torch. Later I filmed myself catching prawns and a few crabs to give Gully time to himself.
Hope you all enjoy...more to come later.

WOW
Mate - that footage is brilliant! What kind of camera are you using? Very well edited too! Having dived that spot myself a few times it is amazing what is on the bottom of the swan there huh? Good to see the tip about using a clip on the bag end of the prawn net too.
Gotta say though, my last swan dive was a couple of months ago now and you guys certainly have balls getting in there now!! What is it down there now 11-12 degrees?
Also some of those close up shots were sensational - did you have strobes for lighting?

Matt: just a good semi-dry
Matt: just a good semi-dry 5mm, it did hurt a little this week though, forgot my hood and that stung a little on the way down and I could really feel it when I got back out this time.
Goodz: I swore there weren't yabbies down there, but no idea what else it could be. I saw a couple myself on the last dive.
Ta for the credit Pete, I think you see my torch beam in the jetty shot and thats about it for me ;)

Great vid brings back
Great vid brings back memorys of Bicton Baths and another spot at Mossie bay of the beach.
For anybody who is getting into it a little hint,,don't use your prawn net to catch a crab,it will make a pigs breakfast out of your net and its a bugger to get them out,,lol
